Mr. Sheerman
To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food when he anticipates that the Food Standards Agency will be in operation. [66554]
Mr. Rooker
The date when the Food Standards Agency is established will depend on how soon the necessary legislation can be approved by Parliament. We hope to introduce a Bill later this Session if sufficient extra time is available.
